“I wanted to drop a note to let you know how glad I am that I met you and how much I appreciate what you have done for me. These past few months have been the most difficult time in my life so far. The anxiety of waiting for test results, the two surgeries, the dreaded diagnosis. You have made it easier for me with your warm personality and genuine compassion and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love my wig and I have received so many compliments on it. People cannot believe how much it resembles my real hair!! You are the best at what you do!”
